being a hairy girl

Overview

The video is a personal story from a “hairy girl” about being bullied for having body hair, followed by trying—together with her boyfriend/partner Terry—to remove an ingrown armpit hair at home.

Main Plot & Timeline

• 6th grade humiliation

  • While trying to see the whiteboard, a “cool guy” stares at her awkwardly for several minutes.
  • Later, he and his friends follow her home and bully her by calling her “Mustachio”—a nickname tied to her armpit hair (described as a “nice little girl stash”).

• Ongoing insecurity

  • She leans on friends for support, but the comments stick.
  • She explains that family genetics lead to lots of body hair, unlike her mom and sister (who have less hair).

• Laser hair removal attempt

  • Her mom eventually buys her laser hair removal appointments.
  • She only goes twice because it’s expensive.
  • She notes that you need multiple sessions due to hair growth cycles.

• Summer stress / visibility

  • In crop tops, she’s embarrassed again.
  • Friends point out hair “where a woman shouldn’t” have it.
  • She says she “can’t shake” the discomfort of having hair and ingrown hairs.

Key Highlights (Reactions & Jokes)

• Water park roast

  • At a small water-slide spot ($7/week style), mean girls steal tubes and cut in line.
  • The ringleader grills her: “Do you shave your armpits?”
  • When she says yes, the girl claims it “doesn’t look like it,” and the crowd laughs—making it a public embarrassment.

• “Mosquito bites for boobs” line

  • She also recalls other cruel nicknames/comments, including a harsh joke implying her chest looks covered in bites.

DIY Ingrown-Hair Extraction (Comedy/Pain)

Terry helps her numb the area and attempt repeated extractions with tools. The process is chaotic:

• Terry advises her to sterilize with heat and use a needle.
• She’s terrified of needles, panics, and complains throughout.
• The hair seems stubborn, leading to multiple rounds (including “extraction number two” and “extraction number three”).
• At one point she exclaims it hurts badly; Terry keeps going.
• Eventually they succeed, and she’s relieved—there’s a funny, teasing vibe of “you did it / I didn’t do anything except complain.”
• Terry even jokes about the numbness process, like: she “wants to numb it… it numbs… can’t you feel it?”

Takeaway / Message

She argues that body hair shouldn’t be treated as shameful or “wrong” on women’s bodies. She says she still prefers removing armpit hair, but wants others to have freedom to choose without being stared at or bullied.

She ends with body-positivity: whether someone is hairy or not, they’re beautiful.
